Remember the sound you'd make when you put a thick blade of grass between your thumbs and blew through it? Same concept.. similar sound.

Interesting, that does make sense. Was it the top turbo to manifold gasket or manifold to head gasket? i ask because i pulled my small turbo off today to send it to Tims Turbo (whom i believe rebuilt yours for Bohls, but i could be wrong, too many turbo conversations lately) and i noticed the bolts where not as tight as i expected them to be, not loose but easily broke free. i also notice there was soot under the gasket, which means a leak.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
